The Lynnhaven River is a tidal estuary located in Virginia Beach. It flows into the Chesapeake Bay at Lynnhaven Inlet. The river is known for the world-famous Lynnhaven oyster, considered by many to be the best oyster in the world. In past decades the Lynnhaven oyster population has declined dramatically, primarily due to man-made pollution. However, thanks to restoration efforts such as the "Lynnhaven River Now" project, the water quality is improving and the oyster population is once again on the rise.
